im looking for a comprehensive book about basic electronics. something that goes from resistors, capacitors, inductors, to opamps, transistors, to simple logic all the way up to mosfets and igbt's. im a self taught hobbyist and there are a lot of gaps that need to be filled in. im mostly interested in digital applications, but something that touches on audio and RF circuits would be nice! if a book like this doesnt exist, even though it should, im open to a few books. anything to teach me all i would need to know for hobby shtuff. thanks guys!

After that, you should look at The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill - its a bit old and the digital stuff has dated quite a bit, but the rudiments of the subject are still there and it deals with the subject from a conceptual rather than mathematical perspective. Also look at Microelectronic Circuits by Sedra and Smith - expense but very upto date and comprehensive (although can be a bit heavy on the maths).
